POPULARITY
The early modern period was a rocky time for religion across Europe, fundamental pinnings of everyday life were being questioned and changing, as the reformation shifted authority away from the church. Thoughts on death and the afterlife were turned upside down, and in villages across England, restless spirits were making a comeback. To confront these supernatural intruders, communities turned to their local clergy to carry out the practice of ghost-laying, an exorcism ritual that sought to bind and banish the dead. At least, that's what Victorian authors would have liked to believe. Part religion, part folklore, and part fear, the subject of ghost-laying is fairly well complicated, and defining just how much of it is actually true, even more so. SOURCES Walsh, Brendan C.

Amarok c'est le jeudi et l'Ascension c'est toujours un jeudi alors il fallait bien que je fasse un jour une thématique, même pour le moins… approximative ! Rassurez-vous, pas de playlist "religieuse"; mais juste un clin d'œil avec deux morceaux portant ce titre similaire ainsi qu'une musque globalement "aérienne" (avec pas mal de synthétiseurs) et /ou aux noms quelque peu évocateurs : En ouverture d'émission j'ai choisi un titre tiré d'un livre d'Atrhur C. Clarke qui y décrit un système permettant de faire monter à bord d'un vaisseau spatial (de terriens en exil faisant escale en orbite d'une planète), de l'eau grâce à un câble, opération très sensible ayant pour nom Ascension et dont le titre figure sur l'adaptation musicale de ce roman sous le même titre "Songs Of Distant Eatrh" par MIKE OLDFIELD en 1994. Le second morceau intitulé "Ascension" en fin de programme est effectivement une musique dont le terme se rapporte à la spiritualité, publié en 2021 par le King of the Keybords RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN, tiré de l'album éponyme. Un instrumental épique et chargé d'émotions comme Richard sait si bien le faire ! J'en profite pour vous recommander sa nouvelle production : un album de reprises de de l'un des mentors de Richard, le grand Vangelis, sous le titre Pulstar", dix reprises par le disciple anglais disponible ! Entre ces deux titres, une expérience religieuse. Rassurez--vous, je veux parler de ce titre particulier de KEVIN AYERS ! "Religious Experience", titre de travail de "Singing A Song In The Morning", 1er single de Kevin Ayers en solo sorti quelques mois après son 1er album "Joy Of A Toy" (1969) dont l'extrait "Eleanor's Cake" était placé en face B ("Singing ..." n'étant pas sur l'album original). Le contexte : Avec ses collègues de Soft Machine qu'il vient de quitter, Kevin a donné un coup de main à l'enregistrement de "Madcap Laughs", 1er album solo de SYD BARRETT, leader et co-fondateur de Pink Floyd dont on connait l'état psychique dans il se trouvait alors et qui avait sérieusement besoin de renforts pour aller au terme de cet album… Durant ces séances, Syd va enregistrer une piste de guitare pour Kevin, destiné à son single, piste qui ne sera finalement pas conservée dans le mixage final paru début 1970. Hors en 2003, à l'occasion de la réédition de l'album "Joy Of A Toy", ce fameux single réintitulé "Religious Experience" y est ajouté en bonus avec la piste guitare de Syd ! Un beau témoignage et c'est cette version qui vous était proposée dans ce numéro ! Nous avons quitté provisoirement les Sujets de sa Majesté pour aller faire un tour en Russie y retrouver le duo SUN Q. Bientôt dix ans que ce duo composé d' Ivan Shalimov et Elena Tiron y fait ses gammes et j'avais eu plaisir à diffuser des extrait de leur album "Myth" en 2023. Sun Q propose habituellement une pop-rock à tendance progressive mais sur ce nouvel opus, ils ont imaginé ce qu'aurait pu être "Mythe" s'il avait été écrit dans les années 80, dans la mouvance new wave, synthpop. "Mythwave" n'est pas un réenregistrement de "Myht" mais un aperçu de ce que sa création aurait pu être dans cet univers hybride entre nostalgie analogique et univers cinématique et futuriste. Le visuel de l'album (sorti aujourd'hui même ! ) représente une pochette de vinyle écorné et je lui souhaite une belle… ascension dans les charts ! Autre nouveauté fort intéressante : "Fields And Worms" par LUCIE SHAME. Je n'ai découvert cette artiste que cette semaine et même si je m'éloigne des musiques progressives, ce single n'est pas hors de propos dans cette émission, un morceau plutôt "art rock - folk" s'il fallait vraiment lui coller une étiquette mais surtout d'un grande sensibilité. Sa créatrice et interprète a reçue une éducation musicale classique au piano mais très vite, elle s'est découvert une appétence pour la poésie, l'écriture et la composition. Et puis le grunge à l'adolescence. Forte de ce bagage hybride, elle enregistre un album sur un simple magnéto cassette à 17 ans dans sa chambre. Ajoutez une expérience de vie personnelle assez rude et vous avez alors quelques éléments pour comprendre sa musique, un croisement entre classique, P.J. Harvey et Kate Bush et ce titre que je vous proposais donc dans ce numéro, un texte évoquant à la première personne la plongée dans l'au-delà d'une suicidée, pas le titre le plus gai de l'émission je vous l'accorde, mais d'une magnifique sensibilité ! Ce qui est incroyable avec cette émission c'est qu'en la préparant je fais encore des découvertes d'artistes pourtant reconnus mais dont j'étais passé à côté… Alors sachant que cette émission est aussi (un peu) suivie au Québec, j'entend déjà des railleries (justifiées) outre atlantique ! ! JEAN-PIERRE FERLAND y a été célèbre, et même animateur de télé ! Mais évidemment c'est sa musique qui m'a interpellé (grâce aux bons conseils judicieux d'un ami musicien). A ma décharge, son œuvre n'est pas spécifiquement "rock progressif" mais quand même : l'album "Jaune", quelle originalité ! Si la structure musicale n'est pas forcément prog, la subtilité des arrangements, le son, tout en fait un album qui a légitimement sa place ici ! D'ailleurs, on y trouve un certain Tony Levin, bassiste futur membre de King Crimson, tiens donc… mais aussi (entre autres) le guitariste David Spinoza qui sera appelé à jouer entre autres belles collaborations (la liste est trop longue) , sur des albums de McCartney, Lennon et Star. Jean-Pierre nous a quittés en 2024 mais il laisse une belle discographie à (re)découvrir peu importe les genres et notamment "Jaune" cette pépite de 1970 donc l'extrait "God Is An America", titre forcément lié au thème de ce numéro mais surtout qui n' a jamais sonné aussi juste face aux égos démesurés d'un Donald ou autres dirigeants actuels, laissez moi rire...jaune ! Il y a quelques semaines, une nouvelle pépite est arrivée : "Autumn" , le nouvel album du multi-instrumentiste normand (entre autres compétences de producteur, auteur de musique de films) EMMANUEL QUENNEVILLE. A l'inverse de son dernier album "Dôme" qui nous avaient envoyés dans l'espace, ce nouvel opus sonne plus près de nous pauvres pécheurs mais reste aussi pas certains côtés, un album encore aérien (Si vous êtes aficionados de la musique oldfieldienne, vous noterez les influences dans le jeu de guitare d'Emmanuel qui lui confère aussi cet aspect). Plus lyrique aussi, il invite tant à l'introspection qu'au voyage intérieur (je vous recommande une belle séance d'écoute au casque , imparable ! ). En bonus, la superbe pochette de l'album digne de la célèbre maison Hipgnosis (à qui l'on doit notamment la plupart des pochettes de Pink Floyd),mais c'est à sa fille Clem qui a réalisé ce beau visuel, image garantie sans intelligence artificielle ! Enfin, sans citer tous les collaborateurs de ce bel album, mais au moins quand même : Lambert Wilson et Pedro Almodovar ! Le cinéma dans vos oreilles ! Désolé si j'ai plombé l'ambiance avec le single de Lucie Shame, mais je réitère avec histoire de femme découverte dans son appartement londonien trois ans après sa mort. Le talentueux STEVEN WILSON s'est inspirée de cette tragédie symptomatique de notre société d'isolement derrière l'apparence d'être connectés… Le 4ème album solo du fondateur de Porcupine Tree basé sur ce triste fait ...d'hiver social est juste entré parmi les indispensables de ma discographie. Extrait dans ce numéro de "Hand Cannot Erase" sorti en 2015. Je vous rappelle qu'en 2026, Steven Wilson se produira en concert uniquement pour deux dates uniques : 28 et 29 octobre au prestigieux Royal Albert Hall avec chœur et orchestre, avis aux fans ! Le multi-instrumentiste et producteur anglais BRENDAN PERKINS vient de publier un nouvel album intitulé "Trading River Songs qu'il décrit comme "rock progressif pastoral et symphonique". Je l'en remercie car cela m'évite d'avoir à trop me creuser la tête pour le décrire, oui j'aime bien aussi profiter des jours fériés ! Cela dit, je vous confirme que la description est correcte, j'ajouterai qu'à l'instar d' "Autumn" d'Emmanuel Quenneville, cet album gagne à être écouté en immersion et sous casque. Le titre éponyme proposé ce soir évoque les épreuves d'une famille qui va retrouver son statut de "clan". Vous avez les infos : montez le son ! Pour revenir au thème de notre émission, pas possible de passer à côté de la Genèse, autrement dit GENESIS ! L'occasion de revenir sur cet album (double et pas expresso s'il vous plait ! ) de 1974 : "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". Un album remarquable et ultime participation de Peter Gabriel qui s'est vu offrir (l'album, pas Peter ! ) à l'occasion de ses 50 ans une cure de remasterisation augmentée d'un live d'époque et de quelques goodies dans un somptueux coffret. Bon encore des sous à dépenser mais c'est vrai que 50 ans ça se fête ! Le problème c'est que cette époque bénie du rock progressif regorge de rééditions sous formes d'onéreux coffrets depuis quelques années. On devrait être plus tranquille et faire des économies à la fin de la décennie ! Avant de refermer cet épisode et reprendre l'Ascension avec Richard Anthony Bean, un petit tour en Australie avec un groupe au nom un peu à rallonge : THE SEA NOT HAVE THEM (du nom d'un film de guerre anglais et devise de l'unité de secours de la Royal Air Force). Mais revenons à ce qui nous intéresse ici, la musique. TSNHT (c'est plus facile ! ) propose un post-rock ambient qui se caractérise par un juste équilibre entre un son puissant, énergique et des sonorités aériennes. Finalement on peut faire une analogie avec la Royal Air Force ! Cette formation m'était inconnue mais je suis tombé dessus (pas de mon Hawker je vous rassure ! ) en suivant l'actu de leurs compatriotes ORPHANED BEE, projet qui propose un mélange de synthwave et de rock psychédélique et que j'ai déjà eu l'occasion de vous présenter ici. Le single "No Breathing In Dreams" vient donc d'être publié par TSNHT mais en collaboration pertinente et réussie avec les Orphaned Bee. Le temps de gagner en altitude pour une Ascension finale, promis je reviens sur Terre jeudi prochain à 20h ! Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi à 20h
The 1919 competition attracted diverse aviators, including the Australian Harry Hawker, a fearless and sometimes "spiky" test pilot. Inspired by watching Harry Houdini fly in 1910, Hawker became a natural pilot who understood risks instinctively, even while hiding a secret and painful spinal injury from past crashes. He was joined by rivals like Fred Raynham, a quiet pilot with steely resolve who had survived a mid-flight tail snap during the war. The end of the war had destroyed the market for military aircraft overnight, forcing companies like Sopwith to build motorcycles and kitchenware to survive. Consequently, Northcliffe's prize offered a vital way to promote civil aviation. In contrast to these striving young pilots, Admiral Mark Kerr led a team for Handley Page. Born in a palace to an illustrious naval family, Kerr maintained a sharp class distinction, refusing to collaborate with his younger rivals. (2/4)1968 APOLLO 8
Newfoundland was a treacherous launch site, characterized by ice-packed coastlines, boggy ground, and constant rain. Teams had to ship their aircraft in pieces and assemble them in makeshift aerodromes while waiting for favorable winds. Many contemporaries viewed the mission as suicidal. Harry Hawker and Matt Grieve, flying a small Sopwith, grew impatient and launched into a cloud bank in May, disappearing from sight. When they failed to arrive in Ireland after 30 hours, the world presumed them dead, sparking global grief. Shortly after Hawker's departure, Fred Raynham's attempt ended in a "heart-rending" crash during takeoff. This left the field open for Alcock and Brown, who arrived late with their massive Vickers Vimy bomber. This fabric-and-wood machine successfully carried the duo through relentless North Atlantic clouds until they landed in Ireland, simply declaring they were from "America." (3/4)1923

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Singapore’s hawker centres have long been seen as the city’s great equalizer, where a $5 meal still delivers comfort and cultural identity in one of the world’s most expensive cities. But new data suggests that this everyday institution is under mounting pressure. A recent Blackbox Research SensingSG survey finds that 72% of Singaporeans believe hawker culture is now under threat. Meanwhile, 4 in 10 Singaporeans say they cannot maintain their current lifestyle without access to affordable hawker food. What happens when something universally valued becomes economically fragile? And if the iconic $5 meal is no longer sustainable, what replaces it and who gets left out? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Glenn Wray, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Blackbox Research, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah dive into a 20-cent ‘gas and oil surcharge’ at a Joo Koon Thai stall that has sparked debate in Singapore. Is it fair transparency or hidden profiteering? As netizens split over rising costs and hawker survival, the issue goes beyond just price, raising bigger questions about what we expect from small businesses in an inflationary world. Meanwhile in Beijing, humanoid robots have completed a half-marathon, and some even beat human runners. From struggling machines last year to record-breaking performance today, how close are we to robots competing with humans in everyday life?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest today, TW Lim, is here to explore how nation food constructions have played out in Singapore through the hawker centres the country is known for. TW writes on the relationships between politics, history, and culture and how they have shaped eating habits in Singapore. By day, he writes about technology, but he also writes about food and value, or the "regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something." While known to many other countries as a "food paradise" over the last 50 years, TW unpacks how Singaporean food worth and value is decided upon in a country where is food identity. In his new book, Little Perfections: Eating in Singapore, he looks at the development of hawker centres, home kitchens, and restaurants of Singapore that gets at the culture and business of food in Singapore. In today's conversation, we look at the early government policy of Singapore and its lasting impact on the development and maintenance of hawker centres, grappling with notions of authenticity as economic and cultural values around food and eating shift through time, labour and wages for multi-generational hawker workers, and how Singapore as a food paradise holds up a mirror to the food habits of USA and Asia.

In this interview, Malcolm Hawker emphasizes that while AI can support analytics, it cannot replace human judgment. Instead, analysts add value through critical thinking, curiosity, and discernment, framing the right questions. Questioning assumptions, challenging narratives, and interpreting data within business context is key for any analyst. Hawker warns against overreliance on AI, pointing out that offloading uniquely human skills weakens the analyst's role. Curiosity and a growth mindset will matter more than tools in keeping analysts relevant and impactful.

"This set is very floor-focused. No fillers, just tracks I really enjoy playing late at night — raw tech house, rolling grooves and hypnotic vocals. Music from producers I respect like Mau P, Hawker, Max Styler, Nautik, Kevin McKay, GreenThump, DJ Kone & Marc Palacios and others who know how to make tracks that work in the club. The last two tracks are by my friend Henry C, closing the set with that deeper, hypnotic energy. Built for Ibiza nights, underground first, always about movement and flow."

A just-issued NTSB advisory warns operators of several Hawker jet models of a dangerous stall tendency not adequately explained in the aircraft's documentation. Todd Curtis and John Goglia share important background and details.The advisory was issued based on findings from two fatal Hawker jet crashes, one in 2024 and the other in 2025. Both occurred during post-maintenance flights to test the stall warning system. Interesting - the NTSB also noted that it could not find any experience, training, or qualification criteria for pilots tasked to perform a stall test flight or any additional plan or procedures for performing a stall test flight.The advisory applies to 664 recent Hawker jet models and says about 450 older models may have a similar issue. The advisory includes seven recommendations to address the issue. It also states that the manufacturer's instructions for required post-maintenance test flights were deficient. John shares his experience with issues that arise when aircraft return to flight after major maintenance, including pilots who don't take the time to do extensive preflight preparation. In fact, some operators restrict who can fly post-maintenance missions.The NTSB advisory states that in three accidents investigated the effects the crew experienced when the aircraft entered a stall were much more severe than the aircraft's documentation indicated.

Join us as we explore the heart of Penang, Malaysia, where food is more than just a meal—it's a cultural inheritance. With the guidance of a local expert, Poh, we visited vibrant hawker stalls and tasted traditional dishes like char kway teow and Hokkien Mee. This journey revealed the challenges faced by aging hawkers and the importance of preserving these culinary traditions. Beyond the food, we discovered Penang's rich cultural heritage, from feng shui practices to the serene Taoist temples, offering a deeper understanding of the local way of life.

Segment 2 — The Contenders: Hawker, Raynham, and Kerr Race for the Transatlantic Prize — David Rooney — Rooney further details the competing teams vying for Northcliffe's £10,000 prize. Key contenders include Australianpilot Harry Hawker (partnered with Grieve), representing Sopwith, and Admiral Mark Kerr commanding a large Handley Page bomber. The race offered a potential "industry saver" for aviation companies struggling with post-war economic contraction. 1927
Segment 3 — Newfoundland Ordeal: Facing Impossible Weather in the Race Across the Atlantic — David Rooney— Teams faced "suicidal" weather conditions in Newfoundland, the mandatory launch point for transatlantic attempts. In May 1919, the impatient Hawker and Grieve departed in their small Sopwith aircraft and disappeared, prompting widespread public grief. The Rolls-Royce engines employed by competitors, particularly the Eagle and Falcon models, cemented the company's reputation as the premier aircraft engine manufacturer. 1927

After 1,500+ conversations with CDOs and VPs of data , guest Malcolm Hawker noticed a disturbing pattern: a "limiting mindset" that causes data leaders to fail. He argues that too many leaders blame external factors such as "culture" , "data literacy", or a lack of support rather than taking accountability for delivering value.In this conversation, Malcolm breaks down how this mindset is reinforced by the analyst and consultant community and why it leads to a "value fatigue" where no one can prove their own ROI. He offers a clear path forward, starting with a simple 3-question framework for any new CDO and explains why "culture" is actually an outcome of delivering value, not a prerequisite for it. We also discuss his new book, "The Data Hero Playbook," tackle the "AI Ready" myth , explaining why conflating it with "BI Ready" is holding companies back and why your data is likely "good enough" to start right now.

Welcome to a special author's episode of The Data Chief, where we delve into the minds of three influential authors who are shaping the conversation around data and AI. First, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, shares his philosophy of prioritizing strategy over technology to make faster, smarter decisions. Next, Wendy Batchelder, author of The Data Governance Handbook, discusses how to transform governance from a rigid bureaucracy into a business accelerator by focusing on business outcomes. Finally, Malcolm Hawker, author of The Data Hero Playbook, challenges data leaders to adopt a heroic mindset by becoming customer-driven and aligning their incentives with business success. Join us to learn how to lead effectively in the AI era by building a strategy-driven, governed, and customer-centric data function.The Data Chief Podcast: Author Episode Key MomentsGeoff Woods: The AI-Driven LeaderFrom "IT Problem" to Strategic Partner (06:20): Woods advocates for viewing AI as a "strategic thought partner" rather than an assistant or replacement, and emphasizes that AI strategy must align with business strategy.The CRIT Framework for Smarter Prompts (12:25): He introduces the CRIT framework for prompt engineering: Context, Role, Interview, Task. This method helps leaders get non-obvious, high-impact strategies from AI by having the AI ask the right questions.Beyond the Bottom Line: AI's Human Impact (22:17): Woods discusses the ROI of AI, including a case where AI identified savings equivalent to 2% of a company's revenue. Wendy Batchelder: The Data Governance HandbookData Governance as an Accelerator (32:33): Wendy Batchelder addresses the myth that data governance is a "dirty word" or a code for "no," arguing that its true purpose is to be an accelerator.Speaking the Language of Business (35:17): Batchelder emphasizes that data governance should be embedded from the start of a project, not as an afterthought. She provides an example of "bad" vs. "good" communication, urging data professionals to speak the language of the business.Measuring Value with Business Outcomes (40:00): She outlines how to measure the value of data governance by connecting it to business outcomes like increased revenue or improved customer service. Malcolm Hawker: The Data Hero PlaybookFrom Limiting Mindset to Growth Mindset (56:00): Hawker discusses why he wrote the book, calling the current moment a "do or die" opportunity for CDOs. He challenges the "limiting mindset" that leads to defeatism.Customer-Driven, Not Data-Driven (1:08:00): He urges data leaders to be "customer-driven, not data-driven," emphasizing the need for data teams to become more business literate.The Power of Product Management (1:14:00): Hawker advocates for bringing product management disciplines into data teams. This approach focuses on putting the customer at the center and ensures that data products are economically viable and tied to ROI.Key Quotes:"It is not technology first, strategy second. It is strategy first, technology second.” - Geoff Woods"The companies that are treating data as something that helps drive business outcomes are thinking about data at the beginning and set up at the end." - Wendy Batchelder“If you deliver value to your customers, if you are the lever of change and transformation in your organization, if you show value from data, you will get a seat at the table." - Malcolm HawkerMentionsThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, SmarterHow AI is transforming strategy developmentData Governance Handbook: A practical approach to building trust in data5 key reasons why data analytics is important to businessThe Data Hero Playbook: Developing Your Data Leadership SuperpowersCDOs and CDAOs: Rethink your role or fade awayGuest Bios:About Geoff Woods Geoff Woods is the #1 bestselling author of The AI-Driven Leader, host of the AI-Driven Leader podcast, and Founder of AI Leadership and The AI-Driven Leadership Collective™, a highly vetted network of executives collaborating to harness AI to build better businesses and better lives.

This episode, we look at one of Conan Doyle's last short stories, ‘The End of Devil Hawker' (1930) which he completed shortly before his death. You can read the story here. The show notes will be available at https://bit.ly/DOD67sn (for all shownotes, just replace ‘67' with the episode number in question). The episode will shortly be posted to our Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@doingsofdoyle. Please like and subscribe. Synopsis It seems like just another night at Tom Cribb's London establishment, the Union Arms at the corner of Panton Street, in the first decade of the nineteenth century. The bar is crowded with aristocratic men about town, members of the boxing fraternity and all their assorted followers, hangers-on and hearty rowdies. Cribb himself, still nominally the champion of all England, is there, as is the nascent young poet Lord Byron. Amidst the uproar and chaff, the sinister figure of Sir John Hawker - ‘Devil Hawker' – holds quiet converse with Sir Charles Trevor over a debt of three thousand pounds. They decide to settle the issue by the turn of a card, a transaction that is witnessed surreptitiously by the sharp bookmaker Billy Jakes, who notices a slight of hand and makes a decision that will cost both him and Hawker dearly… Next time on Doings of Doyle… We are joined by Nick Lane, author of several Sherlock Holmes plays for Blackeyed Theatre, to talk about their new production Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty.

Kyle Perrin returns to the show to update us on how his season has progressed with his black spar. After briefly reminding listeners of Kyle's falconry situation, he and I discuss the africanus breed - a dog that has originated in Southern Africa. We then talk about Kyle's experience working at a falcon hospital in the middle east. I then query Kyle about Callie's previously unexpected desire to chase fur, and whether that behavior has persisted. We then turn our attention to Kyle's objective to catch a guinea fowl on the rise aided by his two dogs. Kyle then explains his rationale for adjusting his planned approach to catching guinea in the way he prefers to hunt, including the influence of a local HPAI outbreak. We conclude the episode talking about Kyle's final outing of the season. Thanks for listening to Fat Bird, Ugly Dog - I hope you enjoy this episode with Kyle.

In this episode, Divya speaks with Sean Fox and Gregory Randolph about urbanization and how it is unfolding amid global shocks and affecting inequality. Sean Fox is a Professor of Geography and Global Development at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the causes and consequences of global urbanization, the political economy of urban governance, and sustainable city futures. Gregory Randolph is an Assistant Professor in the School of City and Regional Planning at Georgia Tech. His work focuses on how local economies and urbanization patterns are being reshaped by 21st-century transitions namely technological, energy and demographic transitions, with a particular focus on inequality. Together, Sean and Gregory offer rich interdisciplinary insights that challenge conventional understandings of urbanization, showing that urbanization is not just about the growth of cities or a straightforward shift from rural to urban. Rather, it's a geo-demographic transformation that is deeply embedded in political, social, and economic processes. The conversation also sheds light on the hidden stories of urbanization in the global south for example, the stories of migration in the indian state of Bihar where Gregory has been working, deindustrialization, regional divergence, and the hollowing out of labor markets and how these processes contribute to interpersonal and inter-place inequalities. This episode was recorded at a time when massive wildfires in Los Angeles were making headlines everywhere, prompting a timely question for our guests: What should planners be thinking about as they rebuild cities after disasters? Both Sean and Gregory voiced serious concern about the increasing frequency and scale of natural disasters and how such events are amplifying pre-existing inequalities. They emphasized that recovery and rebuilding cannot be the task of planners alone. It must also be a political project—one that demands bold, inclusive, and forward-thinking political leadership committed to building cities that account for vulnerability, address structural inequalities, and prioritize resilience for all. Sean and Gregory are both compelling storytellers, and their work offers a grounded and timely lens on how urbanization is evolving in a world marked by rising uncertainties and deepening inequalities, and I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to engage with them and their brilliant & relevant scholarship References: Fox, S., & Goodfellow, T.

In this episode I welcome Anton Muller back to the show. After briefly reminding listeners of Anton's background and learning a little about his lanneret's name, we discuss how a captive bred lanner could be developed to bring about the traits that Anton so appreciates in the passage birds he flies. We then turn our attention to what has transpired in Anton's falconry since we last spoke. We briefly talk about the propensity for passage lanners to come with a set of preferences related to prey type. I then ask Anton what is next in his falconry. Before concluding the episode, Anton tell us about his last day afield with "Little Oke". Thanks for listening to the Fat Bird, Ugly Dog Podcast, I hope you enjoy this episode.

In this episode I am joined by Francois Breedt. After briefly reminding listeners of Francois' background, he describes how the "Falconry Gods" intervened and brought was he anticipated would be a very good season with his four-times inter-mewed female Peale's Scottish peregrine cross to an end. Francois explains what he anticipates he will do in response to the setback, and he talks about his dog work plus his most memorable day in the field.
Cam Coley returns to the show for his first update. After briefly reminding listeners of Cam's falconry situation, he and I talk about the progress that he has made with his new English setter pup. Cam then tells us which one of the two options he was considering when we last spoke - going strait to flying wild quarry or opting to transition to Phase II of the Perfect Pigeon approach. We then discuss the use of bagged quarry in South African falconry. Cam had indicated that it was his intent to release his peregrine at the end of August and I ask Cam if he intends to follow through with that plan, and why he believes that doing so is in the best interests of the hawk. If, in fact, Cam does release his falcon, then it was his intent to replace it with either a passage lanneret or a musket black spar - he tells us which of the two options he has settled on. We then focus on some highlights of his season thus far. We conclude the episode with a description of Cam's most recent flight. Thanks for listening to the Fat Bird, Ugly Dog Podcast - I hope you enjoy the episode.
Andre Cilliers returns to the show with another update of his season. After giving the listeners a brief reminder of Andre's situation. We then talk about what changes the rainy season have brought about and how more water on the landscape has affected his falconry. Andre then clarifies what South Africans mean when they talk about a "vlei system". We then turn our attention to Andre's update beginning with his passage lanner that he had acquired when we last spoke. We then talk about the foils of hawking Cape francolin, and a focus that Andre specifically outlined as a goal for this season - a "waiting on" flight over grey francolin with his dog solidly on point. Andre describes the downside of a falcon confident that it can catch and kill whatever is flushed beneath it regardless of whether the quarry flushed was intentional. With July half over, I ask Andre if he intends to extend his hawking season or put his birds up as he typically does when the days get hotter and his work days get busier. We conclude the episode with Andre offering two some personal insight into the value that falconry can bring to a game hawker with good perspective.
Kyle Perrin flies an imprint black sparrowhawk. He joins me this week to talk about his bird, his dogs, and his desire to pursue helmeted guinea fowl, catching them on the rise after a long, open slip. Kyle explains why he chose to fly a black spar, including how he manages his hawk to ensure she remains feather perfect. He also gives us some insight into the main differences between the African goshawk and the black spar. Guinea fowl can be flown all year round and Kyle talks about how he manages the timing of molt to cater to available mid-winter daylight hours. We then turn our attention to his preferred quarry - the guinea fowl - and a description of his hawking grounds, and the origin story of this particular black spar. Kyle explains the approach that his is going to take in an effort to achieve the hawking style he prefers, and he tells us about his approach to developing a well-adjusted short-wing. We conclude the episode talking about Kyle's most recent outing, and his hawk's sudden change in heart when it comes to chasing "fur". I hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening.

Anton Muller, known for his expertise in hawking with lanner falcons, joins me to talk falconry in the Free State Province. After introducing himself, Anton talks about his farming practices, and how an experience with a spotted eagle owl influenced his decision to fly lanners. We then talk about his hawking grounds, his preferred quarry. Lanners naturally make use of thermals to gain pitch, and Anton talks about the way that they do so. Anton describes how the loss a particularly good peregrine falcon led to his focus on lanners. We talk slipping a lanner on sand grouse and use of dogs when hunting sand grouse. Anton provides some insight into the commonly held belief that lanners can be lazy. We conclude the episode with a broad ranging discussion on gamehawking with lanners. I hope you enjoy this episode with Anton - thanks for listening.
In this bonus episode of South African Game Hawker, I am again joined by Andre Cilliers, Thean Prinsloo, and Scott Mc Farlane Chase. I talk to each of them about their flights of the day, and their plans once the meet is done. Andre's birds connect, his dog earns a good rest day, and he ducks out a day early as work interrupts his falconry. Thean continues his strategy of putting game up under his falcon opting to provide as many opportunities as he can. Scott has a clear sense of his path ahead, and we speculate as to the origin of his lanner.
When 22-year-old Lindsay Ann Hawker moved to Japan in late 2006 to teach English, she never imagined the danger that would follow her. A man claimed to be her student, chased her home, and then he went undetected for two years after the crime. Everyone was looking for his face, but there's a wild reason they wouldn't have even known if they were right beside him.Let's get into the horrifying case of a bright young woman whose life was stolen, and how her family went through years of more heartache and questions as they pursued justice for their daughter and sister.Connect with Paige:Instagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrime TikTok:
